ORGANIC FERTILISERS BIODIVERSE DCM fertilisers are meticulously selected from more than 30 different high-quality organic sources. Most of these are raw materials of plant or animal origin which are derived from residual flows from the food industry, given a second life by DCM! Our DCM organo-mineral fertilisers are formulas in which high-quality mineral components are harmoniously integrated. This makes these fertilisers particularly suitable for cold and wet soils or for applications requiring a quicker start. MIXTURE OF VEGETAL, ANIMAL AND/OR MINERAL INGREDIENTS...

CONTROLLED ORGANIC RELEASE C O N T R O L L E D. O R G A N I C. R E L E A S E The nutrient release time of DCM fertilisers has been measured by several laboratories. To characterize the duration of effectiveness of its 100 % organic fertilisers, DCM has introduced the C.O.R. value (Controlled Organic Release). This value indicates the number of days during which the fertiliser releases its nutrients in a controlled and gradual manner. DCM's innovation, DCM Eco-Xtra 1, is the 1 st organic fertiliser with an action of 100-150 days.

G U A R A N T E E D G U A R A N T E E D G U A R A N T E E D UNIFORM DISTRIBUTION DCM's unique mini-granule, MINIGRAN, ensures a uniform and better distribution of the fertiliser or soil improver. Studies have shown that this distribution is 60% more effective, resulting in a better rooting and better plant growth compared to fertilisers in crumble or pellet form. This makes our unique microgranules perfect for special applications: mixing into fine substrates, precision fertilization in agriculture, fertilization of golf courses and football pitches, private lawns, etc. 100% BETTER NUTRIENT DISTRIBUTION MINIGRAN enlarged PELLET: CRUMBLE: MINIGRAN for general use, to incorporate into the soil for general use, for extensive lawns and grassy landscapes ensures an up to 60% more effective distribution in comparison to pellet or crumble 8
IMPROVED ROOTING ROOTING DCM offers you a wide range of organic and organo-mineral fertilisers as well as organic soil improvers. Due to extensive research, DCM can guarantee better rooting with more extensive and active root systems resulting in stronger plants. Our DCM Vivifos and DCM Eco-Fos contain easily absorbable organically-bound phosphorus sources, that remain available to the plant for several weeks, stimulating root formation, rooting and consequently also flowering and fruit formation. HEALTHY PLANTS MORE VIGOROUS GROWTH 9
MICROBIAL SOIL CONDITIONERS A diverse and active soil life is the best guarantee for a wellbalanced soil. This guarantees better root development and improved plant growth. Only under optimal conditions will the beneficial micro-organisms be able to fully develop and multiply. Our DCM beneficial micro-organisms and microbial soil conditioners are the solution for stimulating soil life.

added TRACE ELEMENTS ADDITION OF TRACE ELEMENTS Our product assortment contains solid as well as liquid fertilisers with addition of micro nutrients (trace elements). Therefore you can find for each application or for each plant the appropriate product. ADDITION OF WETTING AGENT Due to the addition of a wetting agent to certain products, it is possible to prevent and remedie drought stress in sports turf, golf courses and lawns. This removes the water-repellent character of the top layer, enabling a faster and more uniform water penetration.

HORTICULTURE Many years of practical experience and applied research concerning fertilization in greenhouse farming, vegetable and fruit growing, and tree nurseries, have shown that the use of DCM organic fertilisers and soil improvers leads to a higher production and more uniform crops. This applies to both the basic dressing and the top dressing. Moreover, our MINIGRAN fertilisers are suitable for broadcast application and row fertilization in conventional and organic growing. 12

DCM STARTEC NPK 7,5-22-4 + 10 % SO 3 0,5 % Fe + 0,5 % Mn + 1,5 % Zn With DCM VIVISOL -AGRI you create an ideal root environment for seeding or planting arable crops. This better start optimizes the health of plants and roots and allows to obtain more uniform plants and a higher production characterized by improved quality. The extra-fine mini-granules can be easily applied with a microgranulate spreader. 14
AGRICULTURE When sowing maize in spring, the soil will likely be cold. Under these conditions the maize is often unable to properly absorb the phosphorus already present in the soil. DCM STARTEC is a starter fertiliser with a high content of easily absorbable phosphorus (22% P 2 O 5 ) showing a low risk of fixation. The maize plants are given the best chance for a good initial growth and root development right from the start. DCM STARTEC is also a good starter fertiliser for rapeseeds, sunflowers, etc. 15
FERTILISERS FOR SUBSTRATES The organic nutrients in DCM fertilisers are released through natural degradation by micro-organisms in the growing medium and stimulate the activity and diversity of these organisms. Because the nutrients from this nutritional buffer are released evenly and continuously, the EC of the potting soil stays consistent : no salt shocks and no growth peaks. Trials have shown that less nutrients go to waste with the drainage water, which makes fertilization with DCM products efficient and sustainable.

TURFCARE DCM is able to offer an unequalled comprehensive product range for a magnificent sports field which is playable at any time. The better distribution of the MINIGRAN granules ensures a homogeneous growth and colour (no spots). The granules fall deep into the grass for a quicker effect and will not be picked up while mowing, nor will they be removed with the grass clippings, which improves the effectiveness of the applied fertilization.
